Hey, I'm Kirstie (she/her), a Manchester based photographer capturing love everywhere.

I photograph love in all of its forms. I'm a storytelling wedding photographer telling stories of love and happiness through joyful and colourful imagery. I'm here for the belly laughs and happy tears; I photograph moments. I'm a lover of telling stories and candid imagery that evokes emotion. I love bright and colourful images and photograph everything in an honest, fun and relaxed style. I love the big moments and the small. It's all about the love and all about the emotion, photographing wedding celebrations for chilled couples who want relaxed, happy, colourful and romantic photos is my jam.

Where are you located? Do you charge a travel fee for weddings not in your location?

I'm based in Manchester but cover weddings across the entire UK and beyond. I'm found most weekends photographing weddings in Manchester, Cheshire, Liverpool, Yorkshire and Wales but I'm often in London too. Photographing weddings in Europe, the US and beyond is a dream I'd love to do.

How long have you been in business? How many weddings have you photographed as the main photographer?

I started wedding photography back in 2019 and fell in love with everything about it. Within that time I've photographed at least 50+ weddings (probably more!) and I wouldn't change a thing.

Describe your "style" of wedding photography.

My photography style is candid, colourful and emotional. I love to create photos that tell a story and evoke emotion. My style is also romantic and fun and non-traditional to create photos that feel like the real you.

What's the typical wedding coverage package that you offer? What is the price?

My most popular package is the full day coverage which has me with you from prep 'till party to photograph your entire story, and this is typically around 10 hours for £1850. This package is full of candid and colourful imagery of at least 600 photos.

Do you have a studio where we can meet in-person?

I don't have a studio but I do offer zoom meetings to chat about your plans and see if the vibe is right :)

What are your professional degrees, credentials, affiliations? Have you taken any recent educational workshops or classes?

I didn't study photography, instead it's always been something I've gravitated towards for as long as I can remember. I was always taking photos of my life and people I loved and my travels and I quickly learnt the importance of imagery and taught to teach myself how to use both DCLR, digital and film cameras.

Is there anything else you'd like to share about yourself?

I'm obsessed with colour and anything that makes me smile, including my little mini dachshund, Sprinkle! As a huge animal lover, I hope to add even more dogs and cats into my family eventually. I'm incredibly spontaneous and can often be found booking a last minute trip on my endeavour to travel the world as much as possible. I love to laugh, like to sing a too loud, bake sweet treats and be silly in my daily life because I don't take myself too seriously.
